The Pros and Cons of Building a Website with Jekyll

This website originally started off as a Drupal site, after which I
rewrote it with AngularJS and Express.
Then in 2015 I decided to further simplify it by converting it into a
static website with Jekyll. The motivation was to reduce maintenance
and the cognitive load associated with taking care of an unnecessarily
complex system when you just wanted to have a simple website.

I’d like to jot down some of the advantages and disadvantages of
building your website with Jekyll, based on my own experiences.
